reverse lights

today i found out that my reverse lights aren't working im not sure why but only the middle light works should i change the fuse or the light bulb and could it be due to wiring? and how many lights are supposed to come on when in reverse? i never really paid attention. any advise would help.

Where is the one that currently lights up?
I would imagine that there are only 2 reverse lights, but I could be wrong.

I gotta be open and honest here...

Tonsoffun... I dunno how you have survived in the world this long. I don't want that to sound rude or mean, but all your posts lately have been... well... entertaining anyway.

also, there is a reverse switch thats connect to the tranny by 2 bullet plugs. you can check those while your at it. well thats the style plug on the S30/s130 so id imagine it be the same/similare in the Z31

All the lights work? Tail lights to me means the running lights that are red. Brake lights - brighter red lights.
I don't think it has one for the reverse lights, maybe that is a part of the tail lights. But they all work now??
Are you sure things are happening?
